Chapter 562 Buying Meat, Getting Married

"So many people?"

When Zhou Chen and the others came to the Shengli Store Supply and Marketing Cooperative, they found that a large group of people had gathered at the entrance of the store.

Zhou Chen said: "Isn't this a very normal thing? We can get the news, and others must also get the news from other channels, but since the higher authorities have decided to open it, it means that the supply of pork this time should exceed the demand. Don't worry, let's Just wait in line."

He knew that in the TV plot, Zhou Bingkun and the others waited from morning to night, and it was not yet noon, so there was plenty of time.

"National Day, catch up, you go ask, how to line up."

"Okay, you guys wait here, let's go ask."

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao squeezed into the crowd and found that everyone was not in line, but crowded together and noisy.

After a while, Xiao Guoqing came back.

"The meat hasn't arrived yet, but a lot of people have come, and everyone is queuing up. I asked Chaochao to stand there."

Zhou Chen knew what was going on with the pork business this time. Even at night, it still didn't start selling. The reason was that the supply and marketing agency didn't communicate well with the warehouse.

The leader of the supply and marketing cooperative thought that the other party would deliver it by himself, so he didn't urge him. The people on the warehouse side didn't want to make mistakes, so they were waiting for a call from the leader of the supply and marketing cooperative.

There was no communication between the two parties, and they just waited. Even at night, the pork hadn't been delivered yet, which caused commotion. If Zhou Bingkun and others hadn't taken action, the supply and marketing agency might have been robbed.

Zhou Chen, who knew the situation, naturally wouldn't wait until night foolishly. He looked at the time to see if there would be any accidents. If there were no accidents, he would take the initiative to go in and communicate with the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperatives in a while, and let them Call up.

There are quite a few people who come to buy pork, but not as many as imagined. At least it’s not like the supermarkets that will receive free stuff decades later. Those crazy grandparents can go to the floor shop and queue up with small benches the night before.

Most of the people queuing up to buy pork here are young people. After all, the old people can't move the pork one by one, and no one has so much money to buy it.

"Brother Bingkun, why haven't you started selling it yet? Did you get the news wrong?"

After waiting for a while, Qiao Chunyan was a little anxious. She was working as a pedicure in a public bath, and Sunday was the busiest time. The morning was fine, but there was no delay in the afternoon and evening.

She originally wanted to buy the meat before noon so as not to delay her work in the afternoon.

But now that pork has not been sold yet, she couldn't help but doubt the accuracy of Zhou Chen's news.

Xiao Guoqing is not Sun Chachao, and he is not used to Qiao Chunyan. Before Zhou Chen could speak, he said impatiently: "If the news is not true, there will be so many people waiting in line here? Why worry, do you think Meat is so easy to buy, there is no ticket, so why spend some time waiting?"

Qiao Chunyan snorted, "I'm different from you. You don't go to work today, but I have to go to work this afternoon."

"Then you can't ask for leave."

"I'm an advanced member of our bathhouse, how can I ask for leave casually, Brother Bingkun, otherwise, if they haven't opened the sale before noon, I'll go back first, and you help me take my share back, anyway you I’m also riding a tricycle, so I’ll help you if you’re on the way, okay?”

Zhou Chen looked at her speechlessly, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me before you came here?"

Carrying things for others is actually not a big deal, and it doesn't take much effort for him to have dozens of catties of meat.

But the problem is, it's already here, you don't want to wait, why didn't you say it before you came, now you have to wait, but you say this.

Qiao Chunyan said distressedly: "I don't know how to wait, I thought I could just buy it when I came."

Xiao Guoqing said: "We can all wait, but you have too many things to do and can't wait."

"National Day, I didn't ask you to take it. Why are you talking so much? My brother and I are brothers and sisters now. What's wrong with doing a little favor? Is it in your way?"

Seeing Xiao Guoqing targeting her several times, Qiao Chunyan also turned back. She has a pungent personality, and she is not in the slightest when facing men.

Xiao Guoqing wanted to go back again, but Zhou Chen stopped him, it was just a trivial matter.

He rejected Qiao Chunyan, and because of the drama in the world, he didn't have much affection for Qiao Chunyan, but the current Qiao Chunyan was not the Qiao Chunyan in the later stage of the TV drama after all.

Now, even though she was rejected by him, she is still very warm and hearty, and she is a nice girl.

Zheng Juan pulled Zhou Chen quietly, and said in a low voice: "Promise her, when I went to the bathhouse with my aunt, she was very warm to us."

In her heart, Qiao Chunyan is a good person. Not long ago, when she and Li Suhua went to take a bath, Qiao Chunyan was very enthusiastic, and finally helped them fix their feet.

She is a kind girl, and she will not take any small favors from others for granted, but will remember them in her heart.

Zhou Chen originally had the same idea, so he nodded and said, "I guess it will take a while. If you go to work in the afternoon, then go back first. Then I will send the meat to your house and give it to uncle and aunt. .”

"Thank you so much, bro."

Qiao Chunyan's face was full of joy, but she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she waited for a while and saw that the meat still hadn't arrived, and then rode away.

"This Qiao Chunyan, with her personality, I don't know why Chachao likes her."

Xiao Guoqing shook his head. He didn't like Qiao Chunyan's style, and he said a few nice words, as if it was only natural for others to help you.

"Okay, you big man, what do you care about with her?"

Zhou Chen looked at the sky. It was almost noon now, but it was already winter and the weather was still very cold. He felt that he couldn't wait any longer.

So he walked into the supply and marketing cooperative, and after asking, he found out that the leader here was not there, there were only a few employees, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he just asked them to call.

The staff are unwilling to touch the eyebrows of the warehouse, because they often deal with them and know how difficult the people there are, so it is better for the leader to negotiate with them. If they are ordinary employees, they will pay attention to you if they want to. I don't want to pay attention to you, and you can't help it.

Zhou Chen has been in the workplace for so many years, although he has never worked as an agency, he still knows a lot about the inside and outside.

He didn't talk nonsense, he directly asked the staff for a call, and then called the storehouse, asking them to deliver it quickly.

The other party said that he was willing to send the meat only if the person in charge guaranteed it. Zhou Chen knew that there was no problem when Zhou Bingkun made the guarantee in the plot, so he didn't hesitate. He said he was responsible and asked them to send the meat over as soon as possible.

After the phone call, within two hours, the meat was delivered over there in two cars, and the meat began to be sold when it arrived.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Zhou Chen and the others finally bought the meat.

Cai Xiaoguang said that there is no limit to the number, but in fact it is not the case. The butcher said that each person can buy at most one leaf.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen and the others had a lot of people, and they bought three. Naturally, Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan didn't need to divide the one, but the one owned by Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chachao was divided into three.

One was nearly a hundred catties, and Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao wanted to help carry it, but Zhou Chen easily picked it up and put it on the tricycle.

Fortunately, the borrowed tricycle is not small, and it is completely large enough.

"Bingkun, you ride in front, and I'll push for you in the back."

Zheng Juan stood behind the tricycle, ready to push.

Zhou Chen smiled casually: "No, you come up too, a total of several hundred catties, for me, it's a piece of cake."

Zheng Juan said worriedly: "But it will be very tiring."

"It's okay. It's nothing to be tired. Come up. It's a long way. It's a waste of time to go back."

Zheng Juan was still a little hesitant. She felt that Zhou Chen was a cultural person and shouldn't do this kind of physical work, that is, she couldn't ride a bicycle. Otherwise, Zhou Chen would definitely not be allowed to ride.

In the end, Zheng Juan didn't hold back Zhou Chen, so she could only get on a tricycle, and a group of four headed towards the optical film.

Back in the optical film, Zhou Chen handed over the meat to Sun Chanchao, and Sun Chanchao happily took the meat to Qiao Chunyan's house, wanting to make a good impression, while Zhou Chen and Xiao Guoqing went back to their respective homes.

There are really a lot of pork in the two wings. When Li Suhua saw it, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of joy. There is so much meat, the old man and the eldest son will have enough to eat when they come back.

Li Suhua was very generous and took away a large piece of good meat for Zheng Juan.

In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of 1973, and there were not many days left before the Spring Festival. Li Suhua happily waited for the return of her husband and son.

But suddenly a telegram from the mountain city was delivered to the door of the house by the postman.

As soon as Zhou Chen arrived home, Li Suhua pulled him closer to the room, "Kun'er, come and take a look, the telegram from the mountain city must be from your father."

Zhou Chen took the telegram and looked at it. It was only a few words. A telegram is different from sending a letter. It is charged by the word. If you are not in a hurry, few people will send a telegram.

"Mom, it was indeed from my dad. The telegram said that he would go to your province to find Zhou Rong first."

"What's Zhou Rong, that's your sister."

Li Suhua glared at Zhou Chen, then asked in confusion: "Your father went to Guizhou to find Rong'er, that means your father is willing to forgive her?"

"Nine times out of ten."

Zhou Chen knew the result, even if he didn't know the result, he could guess what kind of choice a daughter slave like Zhou Zhigang would make.

Everyone has their own way of pampering their daughter, but from Zhou Chen's point of view, he doesn't agree with Zhou Zhigang's way.

If his daughter treats him like this, runs off to be with a man who is [-] years older, and threatens to sever ties with the family, he promises to slap her a few times and teach her how to behave.

If it is said that your parents treat you badly, it is understandable for you to do so, but the Zhou family and his wife regard Zhou Rong as a treasure, and they love her more than their son. She still does this, she can only be said to be spoiled.

This kind of person should be well educated and let her know that she will not be spoiled all the time.

It's a pity that Zhou Zhigang is obviously not this kind of person, he is the kind of father who has no bottom line in front of his daughter.

But such a father, in front of his youngest son, always acted like a strict father, beating and scolding, really picking on the soft persimmons.

How to put it that way, often the child who is least liked by his parents and treated the worst may be the most filial one among the children.

Li Suhua was overjoyed: "Great, your dad went to find Rong'er, if he can bring your sister and your brother-in-law home, then our family will be reunited this year for Chinese New Year?"

Since 69, Li Suhua has only one luxury, that is, her husband and children go home and the whole family is reunited.

Zhou Chen said: "I don't know about this, and it's possible that they won't come back."

"Snapped."

Li Suhua gave Zhou Chen a direct blow, and scolded angrily: "You son of a bitch, can you say something nice, I'm going to be so mad at you."

Zhou Chen looked helpless: "Okay, I was wrong, they will all come back this year, my father, my brother, my sister-in-law, and Zhou Rong and the others, all come back, okay."

"It's almost there."

Li Suhua breathed a sigh of relief this time, and then asked strangely: "Kun'er, what's going on with you now, you used to always call me sister, and you liked to play with your sister, why do you always call her by her name now? Are you still mad at her?"

"Can you not be angry, because of a wild man, you don't even want your parents and brothers, and you can still say that you don't have her as a daughter, so you can't be angry with anyone, that is, you have a good temper. If she dares to say such things in front of me, I promise to kill her with a big mouth."

"Look what you can."

Li Suhua sighed: "You can't blame your sister for this matter. No one can explain things like feelings. Let's talk about you. You are also very stubborn for Zheng Juan."

Zhou Chen retorted: "Can it be the same? No matter what happened to me and Zheng Juan, I never said that kind of thing. I'd better ask your opinion first. At least I didn't run away from home without saying a word, let alone keep talking. I don't want my parents and family anymore, Zhou Rong can't compare with me."

He admitted that he was stubborn about Zheng Juan's matter, but that was fundamentally different from Zhou Rong.

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Li Suhua seemed very impatient. Of course, she also knew that Zhou Rong's behavior was chilling, but apart from being a little bit blamed at the beginning, she no longer blamed her, and only wanted her daughter to go home as soon as possible. .

Not long after this conversation, Li Suhua received another letter from the Construction Corps.

The content of the letter was very simple. Zhou Bingyi said that he would not come back this year during the Chinese New Year because he was going to marry Hao Dongmei, and Hao Dongmei couldn't leave, so he was there to accompany Hao Dongmei.

Such a letter made Li Suhua, who had not been happy for a long time, not speak much for two days, and his spirit was also very bad.

I have been thinking about it for several years, and this year everyone is free, but Zhou Bingyi suddenly did not come back, and the gap in my heart is really too great.

Seeing that the new year will be in a few days, a telegram from your province made Li Suhua give up.

Just like in the TV drama, Zhou Zhigang forgave Zhou Rong, and he wanted to stay in Guizhou Province to celebrate the New Year with Zhou Rong and the others, and he would not return to Jiangliao.

Li Suhua was very sad when she learned about it, but at the same time she was relieved that she couldn't go home for a reunion, but her husband was able to forgive her daughter, which in her opinion was also a kind of comfort.

Forgiving her daughter means that there will be a chance for the family to reunite in the future.

Zhou Chen knew about this result a long time ago, so he wasn't surprised at all, and lived on his own.

During the holidays, apart from spending the New Year at home, he would go to the rented house with Zheng Juan to clean up. He already had a plan to marry Zheng Juan as soon as possible.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, only Zhou Chen and Li Suhua ate in the Zhou family. The food was more common and naturally very rich, but Li Suhua was obviously in a bad mood and was not eating well.

While eating, Zhou Chen took the initiative to say: "Mom, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Li Suhua raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Chen said: "I originally planned that when my father and elder brother came back, they would talk about my marriage to Zheng Juan, but now they are not coming back, and I don't know when they will come back next time. I think I will marry Zheng Juan I can't delay any more, I want to marry her and get a certificate after the next year, what do you think?"

Li Suhua pondered for a moment, in fact, she had no objection to Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan, but it was a big deal after all.

"Is it a little too urgent, your father and the others may come back in two years, don't wait any longer?"

Zhou Chen said: "Mom, it's not that I don't want to wait, but who knows how long it will take? I'm 21 during Chinese New Year, and Zheng Juan is one year older than me. Women must have children while they are young. In recent years, there are only two of us in our family. Man, don't you want to hug your grandson earlier? I'm going to work, and I have my grandson with you."

"Of course I do."

Li Suhua's heart was very excited. As she got older, she really wanted to hug her grandson a little bit.

"Then when are you going to get married?"

"Mom, I'm planning on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. It just so happens that everyone is free and we don't have much to do, so I invite relatives and friends to dinner. What do you think?"

Li Suhua nodded in agreement: "Except for the rush of time, it's right not to do much. It's better to keep a low profile when doing things now."

"Then you agree?"

"I agreed. In this way, when the post office is at work, you can send a letter to your father, your eldest brother and your sister, and tell them about it."

"No problem at all."
